Walking down to the Feedbox market in Scarborough on weekends, the aroma of the Moroccan Shakshuka always whispers my name in the sea breeze as I approach the bright blue tents. Torn between wanting to sketch and wanting to delight my morning taste buds, I opted for delighting my taste buds and sketching my breakfast […]

I was having a bit of me time so I took a little drive to the river. My favourite paddling spot, Freshwater Bay in Mosman Park. But this is my third time sketching here. I just love the peacefulness of being here. It’s a fantastic place to just ‘be’! I have to confess, I did […]

I spent the weekend with a horrid cold and a streaming nose and now Monday is here I was tired of being sick. Fortunately for me I live by the beach so when hubby said “I’m going for a quick dip. Do you want to come? I think it’ll be good for you” I thought […]

It’s been nearly two years since I moved back to the coast after many years of inner city living. I have to say my initial reluctance and hesitation in giving up the cafe strips and the ease of the more cultural life style was far out weighed with a life by the beach. I’ve seemed […]

I’ve always wanted to go on a world tour and now my sketchbook has embarked on the journey before me! I belong to a few online sketch groups. And this particular sketch group decided that we would send our personal sketch books on an around the world artventunre. The Monkeys are here!!!…. I ended […]

Thanks to a close friend of mine I have found my new secret suburban Bali. I absolutely love this place and fortunate for me it’s only less than a five minute drive away from home. A cafe that sells healthy food with a gorgeous serene garden setting and beautiful items for the home to buy. […]

After seeing one of my posts on facebook of me and my parents eating at the Subiaco Markets, my sketch buddy Margaret, requested that our next sketchdate be around there. She had told me that there were plans to demolish the markets (to be replaced with high rise apartments) and although I was aware of […]

The weather was still beautiful from yesterday, so I decided to do a quick pop down to the beach front, park my car in the car park and people watch. I did venture out of my car and sat on the lawn in the sun but it wasn’t long before the shade of the pine […]

Perth Winter’s although chilly and cold are just glorious! After a morning at the Fremantle markets we took a slow drive home along the coast and stopped at Cottesloe beach. There was a definite chill in the air and you sure felt alert and alive. But the sky was blue and the water was calm. […]

I’ve never tried this before but have often wanted to try a very loose form of sketching. With my watercolours I loose painted the colours and shapes of what I saw and then added the kind of took my time in adding the details. I was too busy enjoying the funky tunes at my favourite […]
